RallyGroup
Ray McNeill and Mike McDermott have been named cochairmen of the ASSC Rally Committee by ASSC President John Sullivan.
The two represent the fourth combination to hold the post this year. McNeill is a yell leader and McDermott is a band member-
“We think this is a much more logical coordination of rally activities because the yell loaders and the band are the two most important factors in any spirit-oriented activity," Sullivan said.
The committee's main job will be to start work on generating support for the basketball team. The cochairmen hope to have the organizational structure completed by Christmas, he said.
The applications for the committee filled out at the end of last year will be used as a source to find new members if needed.
Department Celebrates 20ih Year
The Department of Church Music in the Music School is 20 years old this year.
To commemorate the anni-versary. the department, headed by Chairman Charles C. Hirt. has planned a roster of activities, including a series of performances by alumni dedicated to their alma mater.
Many of these alumni are now heads of Music Departments in colleges or of music ministries in churches. Dr. Hirt said. The proceeds from their concerts will go toward furthering the education of church musicians within their own institutions.
Some of these performances have already been scheduled and others are still in the planning stages, he said.
One of the concerts dedicated to the department will be given this month in Utah by Dr. Newell Weight, professor of music at the University of Utah.

Larue, 8 Students To Visit Jordan
Dr. Gerald A. Larue, associate professor of archeology and biblical history, will lead eight USC students in an exploration of the ancient city of Hebron. Jordan this summer.
For the third year, USC will join Princeton Theologi-

cal Seminary and other institutions in a continued scientific exploration of the site. Dr. Larue is assistant direc-
tor of the program which is under the direction of Dr. Philip C. Hammond of Princeton.
Interested students may get application blanks at the office of the Department of Religion in 419 Founders Hall.
The students who are selected must enroll in an eight-unit archeology course and participate in a pre-departure reading and orientation lecture program. Special emphasis will be given to excavation methods.
The individual cost for the trip is not expected to exceed $2,000 which will include room, board, travel and tuition.
The site is located at the edge of the modern city of Hebron about 20 miles south of Jerusalem.
Hebron’s Bible literature is associated with the patriarch Abraham, who purchased a cave in that city to serve as a family sepulchre, with the invasion nnder Joshua, and with King David, for it was his first capital city before he captured Jerusalem.
As a result of the excavations in 1964 and 1965, identification has been made of residential areas from 3300 B.C. down to medieval times.
Musical Scores Given To USC by Composer
Richard Hagcman, 83-year-old conductor-composer who has lived in Beverly Hills for the past 25 years, recently gave many of his original scores to USC.
Included in the collection are the score, vocal and instrumental parts of his opera "Caponsacchi.” based on Robert Browning's “The Ring and the Book," which was produced at the Metropolitan opera in New York City after a premiere in Freiburg, Germany in 1932.
Also in Hageman's gift to USC are the manuscript and score of “The Crucible.” a concert drama, performed in Los Angeles in 1943: the score and parts, in manuscript, of the “Overture in a Nutshell," as well as music he wrote for such motion pictures as “Hotel Imperial,”
“The Howards of Virginia,” and “Mourning Becomes Electra.”
He also gave the USC Music Library an extensive collection of his songs, including “Beauty,” “Christ Went Up into the Hills.” “Christmas Eve.” ‘The Donkey.” “Fear Not the Night,” and “Sundown.”
When the Metropolitan Opera staged “Caponsacchi,” two of the leading singers were the late Lawrence Tib-bett and Mario Chamlee, both USC alumni; Chamlee taught voice for many years in the School of Music.
In the Los Angeles area Hageman has been actively engaged in composing and teaching. He has coached great singers from Nellie Lemba of yesterday to Joan Sutherland.
By MARY MILLER
“T h e Disappearing Student,” a nuclear age drama in two acts, is being enacted daily on the USC campus-
The plot is simple—a male student goes from 2-S to I-A and “You're in the Army now.”
Of course, there are many intricacies of theme and pur-! pose, but the ending is always the same—a draft notice.
The full time student, one; who is carrying 15 units and has come to college directly out of high school, will not lose his 2-S student deferment. Captain T. D. Prophet, district coordinator for Selective Service, said.
Four Year Degree
The student will keep his 2-S classification as long as he completes his degree requirements in four years. It makes no difference what field of study he is in.
However, if a student takes longer than four years in undergraduate school, he is eligible for the draft at any time.
A student is classified I-A as soon as he graduates, but he can appeal to his draft board and regain his student deferment if his major is in the interest of the nation, Captain Prophet said.
Any graduate degrees must be completed within two years.
Took too Long
The Registrar’s Office said a large number of students are being drafted, but only because they have either taken longer than four years to complete undergraduate requirements or because the draft board did not approve of their area of graduate study. Students in business, cinema, music, English and history are being taken first.
If a student is drafted from December through the end of the semester, he may petition the Scholarship Committee for his credits. They will usually give him the credit if he is passing, or if they do not give class credit, they will assign cash credit usable for five years.
Own Fault
The Registrar's Office said many students are drafted through fault of their own. The men forget to fill out a request form and they are classified I-A. Others fail to appeal their classifications within 10 days after receipt of the notice, and they have to remain I-A.
USC has a program which the Registrar's Office terms ;“a guarantee against the draft.” This is the Air Force and Naval ROTC plan which |will defer a student for three years.
The program offers draft deferment to 50ro of the participants after one semester of work. The entire class is deferred after completing two i semesters of training.
Big Tree
Heralds
Season
Christmas has come to USC in the form of a giant Christmas tree in front of Bovard Auditorium.
The tree, near Tommy Trojan, is covered with red ribbons and red and green lights.
It joins other Christmas decorations that have been going up since last week in the residence halls.
Birnkrant Hall has a white tree reaching to the ceiling. Harris and Elizabeth von KleinSmid Halls both have green trees.
College Hall has an extensively decorated main lounge with a tree, a wall-hanging of the Magi, candles and holly. Christmas carols are played throughout the day.
The dorm women decorated their individual doors last week in preparation for the open house they held yesterday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. They are also having “Secret Santa” gift exchanges.
Junior Class Plays Santa To Children
This Christmas, USC and the junior class is playing Santa Claus to the Avalon Youth Center because the community-sponsored U S C-staffed facility for reading and study has had a problem keeping dictionaries on its shelves.
Dr. Toppjng's idea of an ASSC gift of 100 paperback dictionaries to the center was soon picked up by the junior class.
“This is a good opportunity Tor the students of USC to contribute to closer university-community relations and to the education of the less fortunate young people in the area.” Taylor Hackford, junior class president, said.
The money for the project has already been raised through both individual and living group donations.
This Christmas project is the second large-scale program undertaken by the junior class this year. The first project, still underway, is the High School Relations Program.
The program has already encompassed more schools than have ever before been attempted.
IT’S FOR REAL, CHARLIE BROWN—A genuine evergreen Christmas tree (or Chanukah bush?) graces the walkway to Bovard Auditorium, heralding the season.
